A Geometric Approach to Perturbation Theory of Matrices and Matrix Pencils. Part I: Versal Deformations

Abstract

We derive versal deformations of the Kronecker canonical form by deriving the tangent space and orthogonal bases for the normal space to the orbits of strictly equivalent matrix pencils. These deformations reveal the local perturbation theory of matrix pencils related to the Kronecker canonical form. We also obtain a new singular value bound for the distance to the orbits of less generic pencils. The concepts, results, and their derivations are mainly expressed in the language of numerical linear algebra. We conclude with experiments and applications.
